Just stumbled uppon some interesting thing about openal and DirectSound 3D on vista: http://www.openal.org/openal_vista.html
It sounds like openal will be the old way to get hw accelerated 3d sound on vista, and creative is writing a dsound -> openal wrapper. Maybe it gets a proper license so we can include it in wine :-)
Maybe we should write an openal thunk for wine? Many games use openal, and it seems that on wine openal uses directsound. That might work more better and faster if we had a openal.dll which directly called linux openal :-)
Just dropping the suggestions :-)
There was something a while ago...
